Thread: Sauer Rifle

I have a Sauer 100 and have never experienced any of the issues mentioned above. I wonder how long ago these things happened and whether they have since been resolved by Sauer. I have tried unsuccessfully to replicate that issue with the bolt jamming.

Ditto. Those were earlier model 100s I think. I'm happy with mine and have had trouble free operation. I have no idea how people put the bolt in backwards. Even a noob like me hadn't managed that. It is the first rifle I've shot since I was 12, but I got MOA when sighting it in, which says a lot about its accuracy. The trigger is apparently one of the best factory triggers out there, and after a few boxes through it the bolt is slick and quiet.
The cerakote wasn't as durable as I had hoped though. My only niggle.

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

Pleased to hear I'm not the odd one out here and that I should expect impending doom if I continue to use the Sauer. I agree the trigger out of the box is excellent, at least the equal of my Tikka. I have had no issues with the Ceracote so far, but if it happens I wont be too concerned, I expect there to be some wear in the area where the suppressor bush sits and around the bottom metal where it sits in the hand. Ceracote after all is just a surface coating.
The only small issue I have had is that the chamber tolerances seem quite tight and the loads I use in My Tikka are a little too hot for the Sauer.

I have no plans to get another rifle, unless it's a Benelli Lupo for the wife or a cheap 22 for practice. It's my one and done. Perfectly satisfied.

"One and Done" Yeah I used to think like that, It didn't quite work I just upgraded to a 16 gun safe???
